Enhanced Security ModuleEnhanced Security M odule
The 4012 and 4024 Airespace Wireless Switches can be equipped with an optional Enhanced Security
Module (AS-Switch-ESM), which slides into the rear panel of the Airespace Wireless Switches, and
which is factory-installed inside the chassis in the 4101 and 4102 Airespace WLAN Appliances. The
Enhanced Security Module adds significant hardware encryption acceleration to the Airespace Wireless
Switch or WLAN Appliance, which enables the following through the Distribution System Port
:
• Sustain up to 1 Gbps throughput with Layer 2 and Layer 3 encryption enabled.
• Provide a built-in VPN server for mission-critical traffic.
• Support high-speed, processor-intensive encryption, such as IPSec and 3DES.
• Provides sufficient processor power to have six or more WLANs active at any given time.
The following figure shows the Enhanced Security Module sliding into the rear of a 4012 or 4024
Airespace Wireless Switch.
